The Bengali Association, Thakurli - Dombivli was formed in the year 1973, by a small number of enthusiastic young members. Slowly and steadily it grew up in stature and in the course of time its activities reached to a new height.

In order to achieve a smooth sailing of the association in future years the executive body thought it is wise to prepare a constitution for guidance and lay down rules, bye-laws, power, right and privileges etc. of and for the members and the governing body. This assigned duly register after completion and adoption by the members present in the annual general body meeting.

A uniqueness of our Indian society lies in our ability to exchange and assimilate any other culture. As par our Bengali culture goes, Bengali Association, Thakurli – Dombivli has taken this honorable service in its own responsible hands for Mumbai.

In the past few years Bengali Association has achieved a number of goals. The Vidyasagar English School at Nandivali is one of the same, which is fully recognized by the government of Maharashtra.

This school was established by the Bengali association in the year 1988. And the first S.S.C batch was appeared in the year 1999. Whole school bldg project not yet completed.

For generating of funds for school Bldg we need your help.
